Public Policy Polling, a Democratic-leaning polling firm based in Raleigh, has polled Charlotte voters on the mayor's race, comments by House Speaker Thom Tillis and other issues on behalf of the liberal N.C. Policy Watch.

-- Tillis recently told an audience that mandatory drug testing for state employees might be a good idea. Sixty-two percent of Charlotte voters agreed.

-- On redistricting, 58 percent supported creation of a non-partisan commission. Now the legislature draws the maps.

-- Asked about "Occupy Wall Street," 40 percent had a favorable view of the movement and 38 percent viewed it unfavorably. But 58% agreed that the weathiest 1 percent of Americans "has accumulated too much wealth and power."

-- On Obama, 45 percent of state voters approve his job performance while 50 percent disapprove. That's about where he's been for the last three months. Among independents, who helped him carry the state in 2008, only 38 percent say he's doing a good job.

Who cares. Romney is Morman. Obama is Muslim. He founded and ran Wall St firms like Bain Capital so he cant be all that bad and grad from Harvard Business and Law School.

The guy is 100% pro-capitalist and pro-Wall St. Do you want the US economy to be #1 again or keep sinking into hell under a socialist who has done nothing but waste trillions and promote revolution in the Muslim world?

Clearly Obama has no clue. Anybody can spend trillions. Empty suit. Get a real American born paleo capitalist in office to get the nation back on track and out of debt. Just because he is boring clean cut and looks like an ex-singer on the Lawrence Welk Show dont hold that against him.

Being pro-Wall-Street is what got our country into the mess it's in now. Things were a lot better when our economy was localized as much as possible. It was when the Wall Street backed companies like Bain Capital began buying up smaller companies and gutting them, eventually sending the jobs overseas, that our economic woes began to take shape.

You need local state and national economic growth.Wall St and its 7k corps are the essense of capitalism but no company has to join. Its a risk like anything else. Only fascists & socialists outlaw free markets & Wall Streets for investors. Theres rif raf in anything but thats why the govt agency rules exist & why the SEC monitors fraud on Wall St just like the NCAA monitors college sports fraud.

Get your facts right, Obama is not Muslim, but Romney is Morman, so what religion does not matter here but what does is what kind of a President will he make. During his years with Bain, he closed down companies, shipped jobs overseas and made a fortune doing so, this makes him part of the problem we are facing right now. He has said corporations are "people too" , which is totally crazy, This guy is not right for this country and actually, now of the Republican candidates have what it takes to turn our economy around. I have not heard one good idea from any of them, yet. Republican's ideological politics are going to keep this country from becoming once again a leader in innovation, education and technology. They continue to embrace the past and fear the future. They are so disconnected from the 21st century it's scarry. I hope NC voters wake up in 2012 and vote Democrat all the way.

Shalom. Peace be unto you as there is no greater than Allah and his holy Quran.Barack Hussein Obama is Muslim until death being born and served the holy Quran birth rite passage given a holy Islamic name means Messenger of Allah.
